Summary

The SLK by Selkirk Evo Soft MAX is a standard-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a material known for balancing power and control. The face is constructed of carbon fiber, often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.8 oz with a 4.85-inch grip, this paddle falls into the lightweight category, generally offering good maneuverability. Its swing weight of 105 is considered low, potentially making it easier to swing quickly. The 16mm core thickness may provide additional control. This paddle might be suitable for players prioritizing control and quick exchanges, potentially including beginners and intermediate players. The combination of a lightweight design and a thicker core could offer a blend of maneuverability and control. However, the lower swing weight might not generate as much power as heavier paddles. The spin rating is 2.5 out of 10, placing it in the 9th percentile for spin generation among tested paddles.
